My nieces lost their mom on Xmas - please help!
Donation protected
My name is Angie, and I’m setting up this fundraiser for my nieces Elizabeth Godfrey (18) and Kyrstein Godfrey (17) to help them cover funeral expenses as well as bills, etc. while they grieve the loss of their mom, Stephanie (Stevie) Godfrey. My older brother (Brian Godfrey) is their dad, and unfortunately he passed away in November 2007 in a car accident.
Stevie also has a 2 year old son, Preston Daley (his dad is Chris Daley).
On Christmas Day 2022, Elizabeth and Kyrstein decided they needed to do a welfare check on their mom, as they hadn’t heard from her. Elizabeth and her cousin went to the home Stevie was staying at. Lizzy had to break in, and unfortunately discovered her mother’s body inside the home. She found her 2 year old brother, Preston in the home as well- safe in his room. It was estimated he had been alone for around 24 hours, by the time paramedics evaluated him.
These girls are now left without a mother or father, and need our help!!! They both are very hard working, independent, driven, strong young women - and they make me so dang proud every single day. They’ve overcome so much in their lives, and they are the kindest, sweetest girls you could ever meet. They both work their butts off, Liz just graduated high school, and Kyrstein is a junior this year and one of the top students in her class @ CPHS.
This is an unimaginable tragedy for these girls.
Please share and donate if you can to help Elizabeth and Kyrstein cover funeral expenses for Stevie, as well as help with their own bills so they can take the time they need to grieve, and not worry about having to work to make ends meet. Their little brother, Preston, is now with his dad and grandma - and any help for him (diapers, toys, clothes, etc) are appreciated as well.
I cannot believe I am having to reach out like this, but I promised my brother I’d always take care of his girls - and right now this is all I can think of to do….
Thank you so much for taking the time to read, and share. It means the world to me.
Fly High, Stevie. I know you’re no longer in pain…
